Just a short time here...

By Vichara


Regardless of your position in life, your status amongst the rich and famous, the powerful or the meek, we are all comprised of the exact chemical combination to produce this breathing, thinking, talking humanoid being. Some will abuse this gift while in their lifetime and others will ignite the compassionate elements and try to leave this world a little bit better. Face it, we will all die at some point. Wouldn’t you want to use this small amount of time that has been given to you to make a difference in the world? Even in a small unselfish way. It’s up to you.

Did you know?
A close examination of "indagate" reveals that it's a rather uncommon word. If we delve into the past, we discover that it first appeared in an English dictionary in 1623. Probing further, we see that its synonym "investigate" was already a hundred years old at the time. Despite the fact that our search turns up the derivatives "indagation," "indagator," "indagatory," and "indagative," we see that none of these words was ever used as widely as "investigation," "investigator," "investigatory," and "investigative." If we hunt for the etymology of "indagate," we sniff out the Latin verb "indagare" ("to track"), which often referred, as did Latin "investigare," specifically to tracking done by hunting dogs.
